Highlights
We learned about how graphs can be used to show information and we created a graph of our favourite liquids to drink.  We also surveyed another grade 2 class to see if their results would be the same or different.  We are practicing the visualization strategy while listening to the Novel “Dolphins at Daybreak.”  In Social Studies, we learned about some Inuit traditions and we watched a video about throat singing.  Students were given some of their math work to show you.  You may keep this work at home.

*Don’t forget that it is Crazy Sock day tomorrow!
